Elite Gourmet EFD319 Food Dehydrator, 5 BPA-Free 11.4" Trays Adjustable Temperature Controls, Jerky, Herbs, Fruit, Veggies, Dried Snacks, Black

I bought this to remove the absorbed moisture in my dry-n-dry reusable desiccant beads that I use for filament storage as well as in my AMS on my 3D printer. It refreshed a good amount of desiccant in less than 2 hours using the highest setting which is about 70*c. I used some tray designs from makerworld and it worked out really well. I will be trying this out to dry filament as well.It's the perfect size and easy to modify. I cut out the bottom of one of the trays so I could make it a taller space. I'll do this to more of the trays when I dry filament in it. I've attached some before and after pics of the desiccant. This was after about 1.5 hours or more (less than 2 hours) of run time and I took the lid off and checked a few times during this process.

Great price; love that it's compact when stored. I made parchment paper rounds with enough space at the inner and outer part to allow for airflow, and it worked great on making "eggplant bacon" and in drying thinly sliced bananas. So far, so good. And it's not as loud as I expected for this kind of machine. All in all, I'm very satisfied - especially with its compact size, that's been a real plus.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I was new to dehydration, so I didn't want to spend very much on a machine. I've been very pleased with this one. The only con is that the round trays do not hold as much as square or rectangular ones. I've had no other issues.

I've never used a dehydrator before buying this, but I wish I knew about them sooner! I use this primarily to make my dog their treats, since I noticed most of the healthier snacks only have 1 ingredient: chicken, salmon, or beef so I thought I'd take my chance at making them at home and it's both great and super easy.Also, you can't really complain that there aren't any fancy features especially since it's priced so low compared to the other dehydrators on the market. I'll probably eventually upgrade down the line, since the one thing I do wish it had was a timer feature (which can easily be fixed if you have an outlet timer). I think in conclusion, this dehydrator will be a great additional for people who only need to dehyrate every now and then.

I love it! So far I’ve only used it for herbs but I love it! Compact, fits nicely on my kitchen counter; and because it’s black and gray I feel it looks nice on my kitchen counter. I still put it away when I’m not using it but at least it’s not cheap looking gaudy white. Pretty quiet, drys stuff fast in my opinion. My only small complaint is I wish it fit together better in the expanded position. It’s a little tricky to get the trays to stay in the correct position. But all in all, I’d say it’s definitely worth the money.

This is a good, basic temperature control only dehydrator at a value price. The trays are reversible to change heights for thicker items. You can use one or two trays for small amounts.

This item arrived with a broken piece on the lid. I contacted the seller and have yet to hear anything back. Other than that this appears to be a good product.

We really like this dehydrator and have used it several times for peppers and fruit since receiving this past week! Setting the temperature and timer is straightforward and easy.
